Shipping Company from Jeddah to Syria 0560533140 | Furniture Moving and Car Shipping by Road via Nassib and by Sea to Latakia

Saudi Express ships furniture, household goods and parcels from Jeddah to Syria in two ways: by road through Jordan to the Jaber–Nassib crossing, where the load is transferred inside the customs yard to a Syrian truck that completes delivery to Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and other cities; and by sea from Jeddah Islamic Port to Latakia or Tartus. The service covers dismantling, packing and loading in Jeddah, clearance and delivery in Syria, and by road it usually takes 8 to 12 days. Moving a bedroom starts from SAR 1,395 and a carton from SAR 93. To book, call or WhatsApp 0560533140.

How do shipments get from Jeddah to Syria?

A shipment from Jeddah reaches Syria either by road through Jordan with a truck change at the Syrian border, or by sea in containers to Syrian ports. The reason is that Syrian border procedures and entry requirements may, in some cases, require the load to be moved to a local truck, while transit to another country crosses under customs police escort, and these procedures can change from time to time.

In practice our truck leaves Jeddah for the Halat Ammar crossing and crosses Jordan to the Jaber border post, opposite Nassib on the Syrian side. There, inside the crossing’s customs yard, your belongings are moved from the incoming truck to a licensed Syrian truck under customs supervision, and the Syrian truck completes the journey to your address. We book that truck in advance with our partner in Syria, so you do not have to find a carrier at the border.

The transfer adds one to three days and makes good packing more important than ever, because your belongings are loaded and unloaded twice before arrival. We pack every piece as if it were going by sea and number cartons clearly so the crew at Nassib can read them without the inventory.

Shipping prices from Jeddah to Syria

Shipping from Jeddah to Syria with Saudi Express starts from SAR 93 per carton, SAR 370 for a parcel up to 50 kg, SAR 1,395 for a complete bedroom and SAR 4,190 for a whole home in a dedicated truck. The final price depends on volume, the Syrian city, road or sea, and how many pieces need wooden crates.

For an average home the price gap between road and sea is not large, but it shows with volume: if your belongings fill a 20 ft or 40 ft container, sea may be cheaper and involves less handling; if they are smaller, road on a shared load is faster and simpler. We price both options and send them to you in writing so you can compare.

Starting prices for the most common items shipped from Jeddah to Syria:

On this route costs rise with very heavy items such as marble and steel safes, delivery to mountain villages that need a small vehicle after the truck, and high floors in older districts. They fall with a shared load, sorting before shipping, and delivery to a major city where a relative can collect.

How long does a shipment from Jeddah to Syria take?

A road shipment from Jeddah to Damascus usually takes 8 to 12 days, a sea shipment to Latakia or Tartus 15 to 25 days door to door, and air parcels 2 to 5 days. Road time covers the Saudi–Jordanian crossing, the drive to Nassib, one to three days for transfer and clearance, then distribution inside Syria.

Approximate timings by city and method:

Sea timings depend on sailing dates from Jeddah and clearance days at the Syrian port; road timings depend on congestion at crossings, especially before holidays and in the season when expatriates return, so book well ahead.

Sea freight from Jeddah to Latakia and Tartus

Sea freight from Jeddah to Syria moves in containers from Jeddah Islamic Port to Latakia or Tartus and is the most suitable option for large homes, villas, commercial goods and cars. Shipping lines link Jeddah Islamic Port with eastern Mediterranean ports such as Latakia, directly or via a transhipment port depending on the line.

Your belongings are loaded into the container at your door or at our Jeddah warehouse and sealed until inspection at the Syrian port, so nothing is moved between trucks as on the road route, a real advantage for delicate furniture and heavy pieces. The trade-off is a longer timeline and inland transport from the port if your city is far from the coast.

Air freight from Jeddah to Syria

Air freight from Jeddah to Syria arrives in 2 to 5 days from King Abdulaziz International Airport to Damascus or Aleppo airport. It suits official papers, personal medicines with prescriptions, clothes, small electronics and gifts you want there before Eid. It does not suit furniture or large appliances, as the cost is high compared with road.

Air freight is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, where volumetric weight = length × width × height in cm ÷ 6,000. A 70 × 50 × 30 cm bag counts as 17.5 kg, so if it actually weighs 12 kg you pay for 17.5. Pack air parcels in small, full cartons and send bulky light items with the road shipment.

Car shipping from Jeddah to Syria

Shipping a car from Jeddah to Syria is possible under conditions, because commercial import of used passenger cars into Syria is tightly restricted, and the usual route for expatriates is temporary entry of their own Saudi-registered car. The car goes by sea to Latakia or Tartus, or the owner drives it through Jordan while we ship the furniture.

According to Syrian customs, temporary entry requires the owner to live outside Syria, to have spent at least six months abroad in the previous year, and the car to carry regular plates from its country of registration. The maximum stay is six months for private cars owned by Arabs or foreigners resident in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, and eight months for cars owned by Saudi nationals. The benefit is personal: the car may not be sold, rented or lent in Syria.

If you drive yourself you need an Absher vehicle travel authorisation, a valid registration, insurance covering Jordan and Syria, and the right entry document such as the Arab transit passbook or a temporary entry card; see our triptyque and car transit documents page. For sea shipment we need the registration, your passport and a bill of lading in your name.

Furniture moving from Jeddah to Syria: packing that survives a transfer

Moving furniture from Jeddah to Syria needs stronger packing than Gulf routes, because the load is unloaded at Nassib and reloaded on another truck. Our crew uses sea-grade packing even on the road: blankets, then heavy-duty film, then corner boards or cardboard, with a number and room name on every piece.

Bedrooms are dismantled by a carpenter with screws bagged on the piece itself; mirrors and glass go in double cartons; fridges are dried two days ahead so nothing smells on the road; a technician removes air conditioners after recovering the gas. Valuable heavy pieces, such as old wooden chests or antiques, get a wooden crate that protects them during the transfer.

In Syria the local crew unloads, carries items to rooms by number and reassembles beds and wardrobes. If the home is on a fourth floor without a lift, as in many districts of Damascus and Aleppo, tell us in advance so we send enough hands.

Appliances and alternative power in a shipment to Syria

If you are thinking of shipping solar panels and inverters because of power cuts in many parts of Syria, they travel under a few simple conditions. Panels and inverters ship well wrapped and listed by type and number, while large loose lithium batteries have special transport rules, so ask us before packing and do not hide them among furniture.

A technician removes ACs after recovering the gas, fridges are dried and loaded upright, and screens go in padded cases. Remember that many items of the same type, such as several panels or several ACs, may be treated as commercial goods rather than household effects, so ship what your home really needs.

Documents needed to ship to Syria

The paperwork for shipping from Jeddah to Syria is simple, but its accuracy decides how fast the load clears the crossings:

• Copy of the sender’s passport and iqama or Saudi ID.
• Recipient’s name, Syrian ID copy, phone number and full address.
• A numbered packing list describing every carton and large item.
• Electronic authorisation for the customs broker through Fasah for export.
• For sea freight: a bill of lading in the recipient’s name.
• For a car: registration, Absher authorisation and the relevant temporary entry document.
• For commercial goods: commercial invoice, certificate of origin and the Syrian importer’s details.

Use clear words on the list such as “used clothes” or “kitchenware” instead of “household items”, and list electrical appliances by type. A clear list reduces how many cartons are opened at Nassib.

Arrival and clearance costs in Syria

Our price covers transport from your home in Jeddah to your door in Syria, including the truck change at Nassib or moving the container from the port; Syrian government charges depend on what you ship. Personal effects and used furniture in household quantities are treated differently from new goods, while new boxed appliances and repeated quantities of the same item may be classed as commercial and charged.

For sea freight there are usually port charges, container storage if collection is late, and the broker’s fee in Latakia or Tartus. Have the recipient ready with documents before the ship arrives, because each day the container stays beyond the free period adds cost. Before shipping we send you an estimate of what to expect on arrival so there are no surprises.

Commercial goods from Jeddah to Syria

Saudi Express ships commercial goods from Jeddah to Syria in full or groupage containers by sea, and by truck overland with transfer to a Syrian truck at the crossing. Common requests include canned food, clothing, personal care products, car spare parts and electrical tools.

Traders need a detailed commercial invoice, a certificate of origin and the Syrian importer’s details, and some goods need an import licence or prior approval in Syria. Sea suits large volumes because the container is not opened until the port; road suits medium consignments the market needs quickly. We review the goods classification with you before shipping so nothing is held at customs for a missing paper.

What cannot be shipped from Jeddah to Syria

Gas cylinders, flammables, chemicals, live animals and perishable food cannot travel with household goods to Syria, and some devices need prior approval. Following the list protects your load from being stopped at the crossing and protects other people’s goods on a shared truck.

Do not put gold, cash, passports or original certificates in cartons; keep them in your hand luggage throughout the trip.

Cities we deliver to in Syria

Saudi Express delivers from Jeddah to Damascus and its countryside, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Latakia, Tartus, Daraa, Suwayda, Idlib and the towns around them. For remote areas or mountain villages we agree in advance on a delivery point suitable for the truck size.

A day before delivery our representative in Syria calls you or the recipient to set a time. On arrival cartons are counted against the list and large items checked before signing. If you notice anything, write it on the delivery note and photograph it straight away.

Jeddah districts we collect from

We collect loads for Syria from every district of Jeddah, among them Al Safa, Al Marwah, Al Faisaliyah, Al Nuzhah, Al Rehab, Al Samer, Al Hamdaniyah, Al Naseem and Al Aziziyah, as well as Al Hamra, Al Rawdah, Al Zahra, Al Salamah, Al Khalidiyah, Al Bawadi, Al Rabwah, Al Ajwad, Al Harazat, Al Jamiah, Mushrifah, Al Baghdadiyah, Al Sharafiyah, Obhur Al Shamaliyah and Al Kandarah, as well as Rabigh, Al Kamil and Khulais.

If your building is on a narrow street, we load a small vehicle first and shuttle to the large truck. If your belongings are in more than one home, for example your parents’ and your own, we collect both on one day under a single inventory.

Can a relative receive the shipment in Syria?

Yes, a relative or friend can receive the shipment in Syria on your behalf, provided their name appears in the shipping details exactly as on their Syrian ID and their phone is reachable before the truck or ship arrives. This is common when the father travels first and the furniture follows, or when goods are sent to the family home.

By sea the bill of lading is issued in the recipient’s name and used to clear the container, so you need not be there. By road our representative calls the recipient from Nassib to confirm the address and time. Just send them the inventory and photos beforehand, and ask them to count the cartons and note any remark on the delivery receipt before signing.

Steps to ship from Jeddah to Syria

1. Choosing the route: road or sea depending on volume, city and timing.
2. Price and date: we send a written price after photos or a visit and book loading.
3. Paperwork: passport, iqama and recipient details, plus the inventory.
4. Dismantling and packing: the carpenter dismantles and the crew packs and numbers everything.
5. Transit: the truck passes Halat Ammar and Jordan to Jaber, or the container is loaded at Jeddah port.
6. Transfer and clearance: the load moves to the Syrian truck at Nassib, or the container clears at the port.
7. Delivery: your belongings reach your home and beds and wardrobes are reassembled.

Mistakes that hold a load at Nassib

Most delays on this route come from small things that can be fixed before loading:

Tips for Syrian families returning from Jeddah

If you are shipping a whole home on your final return, the key advice is this: do not ship what is cheaper to buy in Syria than to transport. Heavy old furniture, worn mattresses and old appliances cost more to ship than they are worth; modern energy-efficient appliances, good air conditioners, solid wood furniture and family keepsakes are worth it.

Think about electricity: Syria uses about 220 volts, but power cuts in some areas make low-consumption appliances and home battery systems more useful. Pack a first-days bag with papers, medicines and clothes, as a road shipment may arrive a week or more after you.
